Friend has moved into an old house that has a disturbing spirit... would the Lesser Banishing ritual expell the ghost? Any other recommendation.
Depending on the tenacity of the spirit, the LBRP will likely get rid of it for 24 hours at most. It may also be considerably angry when it returns, (if it does) as well.
I would recommend someone else's suggestion, for getting in contact with the spirit, to find out what it wants. Generally if you give them what they want, they will leave on their own; but trying to get rid of them by other means will usually just antagonise them and cause further problems. You probably *could* create a scenario where the spirit was confined to a certain designated area of the house, but getting rid of it entirely would likely be a lot more difficult.
